Cover Illustration - The Little Book of Rock n Roll Wisdom

I created a few dozen illustrations for a book called
The Little Book of Rock and Roll Wisdom coming out this October. This is the original design for the cover but they decided they wanted to take the type stack in a different direction, which I get but I still kinda love this type stack. But ya can't win em all! Still, the cover is 99% the same.
As you can see, I used "wisdom" as my jumping off point, fashioning a wise old owl from musical ephemera: 45 adapters, cassette tape spools, and even concert tickets (some of which belonged to the books authors)
